Can Widely Advertised Avacor Grow New Hair On Reader's Head?
"Avacor is advertised as an 'all natural' product with no known side effects. That’s wrong on both counts. The truth is that -- in addition to some herbs -- Avacor contains (the drug) Minoxidil."

Avacor and New Hair
"Bottom line: If you want to try Minoxidil and/or saw palmetto, you can buy them for a small fraction of what Avacor costs. Avacor’s other ingredients are all questionable, and some of the herbs may have adverse effects or drug interactions."

Minoxidil is actually a blood pressure medication, known as a Vasodilator. It dilates blood vessels to treat high blood pressure. When applied topically to the scalp, it is still absorbed into the bloodstream and may affect an otherwise healthy individual who does not have high blood pressure and therefore has no need for such medication. Furthermore, it should not be used by people with certain medical conditions or who are taking certain medications.

Avacor™ (for men) product grouping relies on the blood pressure medication Minoxidil in its topical solution. This is the same drug which is the primary active ingredient in Rogaine™.

The makers of Rogaine™ have indicated on their web site (www.rogaine.com) that Minoxidil is formulated to work only on the top/crown portion of the scalp, the area that doctors call the VERTEX. Accordingly, they state that it is not intended for frontal baldness or receding hairline.

The FDA states the same thing: Use of Minoxidil 5% solution is "to regrow hair on the top of the scalp (vertex only, see pictures on side of carton)." Additionally the FDA states "Minoxidil 5% solution is not intended for frontal baldness or receding hairline." To verify this information, read this Drug Facts Label data sheet published by the FDA about Minoxidil.

Hair Genesis™ helps both men and women to strengthen and revitalize their hair and to regrow hair on all areas of the scalp: not only the top - crown area, but also the front receding hairline area and the back area (where Minoxidil-products such as Rogaine™, generic Minoxidil, Avacor™, Hair Advantage™ and others do not work effectively or at all.)

Hair Genesis™ is the only Non-Drug hair growth / hairloss treatment remedy with proven results backed by independent, peer-reviewed, published FDA-Regulated research.

Clinical studies by the makers of Rogaine™ (the first hair growth treatment to use the drug Minoxidil) have shown that only about 1 out of 4 men and about 1 out of 5 women will experience re-growth of their hair, and then it is only very moderate regrowth. And those that do see such limited growth, must continue to use the Minoxidil product on-going, or their hair will fall back out again within three to four months after stopping usage of it.

According to the FDA Drug Facts Guidance for Industry (scroll down to page 2 - Other Information), the accepted percentages of success in hair re-growth in using Minoxidil, based on clinical studies is:
- 26% of the men reported moderate to dense re-growth and 33% had minimal re-growth; this was after four months of use.
- 19% of the women reported only moderate re-growth and 40% had minimal re-growth; this was after eight months of use.

According to clinical studies by Rogaine™, Minoxidil must be used twice a day, every day, continuously. It works better on those who are younger and whose hair loss is recent, according to clinical studies by Pharmacia and Upjohn.

Clinical studies on Minoxidil also show that if you ever stop using it, your hair will soon fall out again (often within 3 to 4 months or even sooner) and you will look as if you had never used it. (click on the "fall out" link above and scroll down to "How long do I have to use Women's Rogaine?")

A potential Rogaine™ user contacted rogaine.com web site by email. This is the actual reply to the customer's question about the necessity of continuing to use Minoxidil (for the rest of one's life):

"Continued use of all Rogaine™ (Minoxidil) formulas is needed to maintain hair regrowth. If you stop using Rogaine™ (Minoxidil), the normal hair loss process will start again. You will probably lose your newly regrown hair within 3 to 4 months and will look the way you would have looked if you had never used Rogaine™. Just remember your results and success depends on proper application of Rogaine twice a day, every day, directly to the scalp."

The Avacor™ nutri-caps contain a version of saw palmetto. In comparison, the HairGenesis™ Oral Soft Gels also contain Saw Palmetto, but also Beta Sitosterol and other clinically-shown DHT blockers, making them potentially far more effective. To the best of our knowledge, the Avacor™ shampoo does not contain any known or clinically-proven DHT blocker ingredients. However, the HairGenesis™ Revitalizing Shampoo does contain a carefully formulated composition of botanically derived DHT blockers.

Based on our observation, the Avacor™ for women product grouping is similar to that for men, except that it does not contain the Minoxidil topical solution. It just contains a shampoo and the oral product. For price comparisons, please note that the Avacor™ for women product grouping only includes shampoo and oral nutricaps, whereas the HairGenesis™ product grouping includes Shampoo, Oral SoftGels plus Topical Activator Serum, all of which contain DHT blockers, making them potentially far more effective than the Avacor™ for women product grouping. Product for product, a HairGenesis™ grouping of just Shampoo and Softgels would cost less than the Avacor™ for women product grouping.

Compare Avacor™, which relies on Minoxidil, with natural Hair Genesis™. Learn why Minoxidil is generally ineffective long term in treating hair loss and thus may not stop your hairloss or help to regrow hair on the Front Receding Hair Line area or in the back area of the scalp.

On the other hand, Hair Genesis™, uses Beta Sitosterol and other clinically demonstrated DHT Blockers. So it works on ALL AREAS of the scalp. HairGenesis™ can help stop hair loss and help regrow hair on the top / crown portion of the scalp PLUS the Front Receding Hair Line area AND the back areas of the scalp.

• Hair Genesis™, unlike Avacor™, has been recognized by the scientific and medical community through publication of its FDA regulated research in a prestigious medical journal.
  

• Hair Genesis™ does not use the Drug Minoxidil to stop hair loss or to help grow hair.
  

• In pill form, Minoxidil has been widely prescribed for many years to treat high blood pressure. In hair loss treatment products, it basically works by dilating the blood vessels in the scalp.
  

• Clinical studies on the drug Minoxidil show that it can cause various side effects, such as water retention, sudden weight gain, rapid heart beat, liver toxification and tissue damage.
  

• According to the makers of Rogaine™, (active ingredient is Minoxidil), Minoxidil works only on what doctors call the VERTEX area (top middle area) of the scalp. (You may research this more on the rogaine.com web site. Click on "How Rogaine Works".)
  
  Thus it may not work effectively on the receding hair line area in the front. This is one area where most men first experience significant hair loss.
  
  Likewise, Minoxidil may not work effectively on the back area of your scalp. This is another place where most men first begin to notice significant hair loss.
